The synthesis of iodine-staining polysaccharide from glucose has been studied using a
strain of Streptococcus mitis. Polysaccharide was shown to be intra-cellular, and to be a …

polysaccharide by Streptococcus mitis and its relation to inducible enzyme formation. J …

The relation between iodophilic polysaccharide formation, acid production and growth in α-
haemolytic streptococci, isolated from human dental plaque, was studied. In experiments …

The majority of the cultivable bacteria present in dental plaque possess the potential to form
iodine-staining polysaccharide. Streptococci, diphtheroids, fusobacteria and Bacteroides …

The accumulation of an intracellular glycogen-like polysaccharide was studied by electron
microscopy in a strain of Streptococcus mitis which can store up to 50 per cent of its dry …

ORAL STREPTOCOCCI differ with respect to the synthesis of glycogen-like polysaccharides
(BERMAN and GIBBONS, 1966). Almost all cariogenic hamster and rat strains uniformly and …

The incorporation of large quantities of glucose into an intracellular polymer similar in
composition to glycogen has been demonstrated with growing and resting cells of …

IT HAS BEEN suggested that certain bacterial extracellular polysaccharides, and in
particular dextrans, may participate in the formation of dental plaque (GIBBONS et al., 1966; …
